Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Common problems we fix in Bistre
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Chips on the edges
- Scuffs and light scratches

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Bistre. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available

FAQs for Bistre
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Bistre?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
